This ensures rapid, dependable and lasting control of Japanese Knotweed and related species across Kent, including Maidstone, Canterbury, Ashford, Dartford, Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Medway, Sittingbourne, Folkestone, Dover and surrounding areas.

Our directors bring over 95 years of combined expertise in invasive vegetation control. They are supported by a highly skilled operational team with extensive experience delivering complex weed‑control programmes nationwide. Every project benefits from our technical knowledge, rigorous standards and professional oversight.
IVM works closely with construction firms, developers and property professionals across Kent, ensuring treatment programmes align with build schedules, planning requirements and mortgage deadlines. All operatives are trained to industry‑leading standards, are NRoSO members, and follow strict Health & Safety and environmental protocols.
As an approved PCA (Property Care Association) contractor, IVM provides bespoke Japanese Knotweed solutions tailored to the unique challenges of each Kent site. We understand that no two infestations are identical — and our treatment plans reflect that.
We supply mortgage‑approved Knotweed Management Plans (KMPs) for residential and commercial properties across Kent. These documents are accepted by all major lenders, enabling property sales and refinancing even where Knotweed is present.
Our reports, quotations and recommendations are clear, transparent and easy to follow. With decades of experience supporting homeowners, surveyors, estate agents and construction companies across Kent, we understand the pressures of boundary disputes, tight deadlines and budget constraints — and we tailor our services accordingly.
